WHEREAS, the City Council adopted the most current version of the City of Buckley Personnel Policy and Procedures Manual on December 12, 2017; and WHEREAS, Section 6.19 provides guidelines for City employees Insurance Benefit Plans; however, the policy specifies that in the event of the employee s retirement, divorce, separation or death, employees may be eligible for up to thirty-six (36) months for the employee and/or qualified beneficiary for continuing health care coverage under COBRA; and WHEREAS, the City s provides health insurance to its employees through the Association of Washington Cities Employee Benefit Trust; and WHEREAS, AWC s Employee Benefit Trust only allows for 18 months of coverage under COBRA at the same benefit level; and WHEREAS, AWC s Employee Benefit Trust does have medical and dental retiree plans for continued coverage; and WHEREAS, in order to continue to provide the option of up to 36 months of continuing healthcare the City would have to transition the employee to a retiree plan after the 18 months have expired; and WHEREAS, the City desires to amend the Personnel Policy and Procedures Manual to reflect this change to allow the option of the retiree plans after the initial 18 months of eligibility. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Buckley hereby amends the City of Buckley Personnel Policy and Procedures Manual as follows: Resolution No. 18- Page 1 City Council Agenda Packet 11-27-2018 Pg. 21

Section 1. Section 6.19.04 is hereby amended to read as follows: 6.19.04 In compliance with COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act), the City offers continuing health care coverage on a self-pay basis to employees and their dependents following termination (for reasons other than gross misconduct), unpaid leave of absence, reduction in hours, retirement or death. These health benefits will be identical to the coverage offered to regular employees. For terminated employees or employees whose hours are reduced below that of a regular employee, the coverage may last up to eighteen (18) months or until they become eligible for other health insurance coverage, whichever is earlier. Employees eligible for the City s ERIP under Section 6.20 may be eligible for enhanced benefits as specified under Section 6.20. In the event of the employee s retirement, divorce, separation or death, the coverage may last up thirty-six (36) months for the employee and/or qualified beneficiary; if provided, identical health benefit coverage (medical, dental and vision) shall only be provided for the initial eighteen (18) months of COBRA at which time the coverage shall convert to a retiree with no Medicare coverage for any remaining eligible period up to the full thirty-six (36) months. The full policy monthly premium plus a two percent (2%) administration fee will be paid by the employee or the beneficiary to the City or designated benefit administrator. The employee or beneficiary may waive all rights to continuation coverage according to notification procedures and time limits outlined in a continuation coverage Notification of Rights letter. Section 2. Section 6.20.02 is hereby amended to read as follows: 6.20.02 Purpose. The purpose of the City s new Early Retirement Incentive Program (ERIP) is (1) to afford those long term City employees who desire to retire prior to either PERS, LEOFF and/or Social Security Full Retirement Age an opportunity to do so with some financial assistance until eligible for PERS/LEOFF retirement and/or social security benefits, and (2) to encourage some measure of staffing flexibility, consistent with overall City and individual department needs. The City s Early Retirement Incentive Program (ERIP) is strictly voluntary and provides an insurance incentive that allows an employee to retire early prior to being eligible for Medicare benefits. Under the ERIP, employees that have at least 10 years of service with the City shall be eligible for 1 year (12 months) of City paid continuing health care coverage for the employee only under COBRA, as outlined in Section 6.19.04. Employees electing to take early retirement under this program who have more than 10 years of service with the City shall receive an additional 1.5 months of City paid continuing health care coverage for the employee for every year of service over the 10 year initial threshold, up to the maximum allowed under COBRA which is 36 months, as outlined in Section 6.19.04, except that City contributions to COBRA under ERIP will cease before the end of the eligible period, if: Resolution No. 18- Page 2 City Council Agenda Packet 11-27-2018 Pg. 22

the participant becomes eligible for medical care coverage through another employer; or the participant becomes eligible for Medicare benefits; or the participant elects coverage through a spouse/domestic partner employed by the City; or the participant dies. Participation in the City s ERIP provides coverage under the City s insurance plan for medical, vision and dental benefits, as outlined in Section 6.19.04, but does not include an H.R.A. contribution outlined in 6.19.02 above. Employees electing to participate in the City s ERIP may choose to provide health care coverage for their dependents on a self-pay basis following their termination/retirement from the City. This program is subject to funding by the City Council in the annual budget and the City retains the right to designate the number of positions to fund annually and the right to deny an application or delay its effective date in the best interests of the City. The City may, in its sole discretion terminate the program at any time or, suspend it for any fiscal year, if insufficient funding is provided in the budget, provided however that such suspension shall not impact the rights or benefits of any employee who has retired under the program in a prior fiscal year. Section 3. Section 6.20.03 is hereby amended to read as follows: 6.20.03 Long term City employees who retire early due to medical reasons related to a serious health condition prior to either PERS. LEOFF and/or Social Security Full Retirement Age are eligible for the ERIP as outlined in 6.20.02 above. Employees retiring early due to medical reasons who have at least 10 years of service with the City shall be eligible for 1 year (12) months of City paid continuing health care coverage for the employee only under COBRA, as outlined in Section 6.19.04. Employees who have more than 10 years of service with the City shall receive an additional 1.5 months of City paid continuing health care coverage for the employee for every year of service over the 10 year initial threshold, up to the maximum allowed under COBRA which is 36 months, as outlined in Section 6.19.04. Section 4. Section 6.21.01 is hereby amended to read as follows: 6.21.01 Eligible employees who can demonstrate and attest to having other employersponsored group health insurance for their eligible dependent(s) may elect to opt out of the City s sponsored Medical/Prescription, Vision and Dental coverage with the Association of Washington Cities Employee Benefit Trust or LEOFF Health and Welfare Trust. Employees who elect to opt out of dependent(s) coverage will receive a cash payment equal to fifty percent (50%) of the premium amount for eligible coverage in return for this waiver which will be paid monthly for each full month the waiver remains in effect. Any cash payments made to the employee under the Opt- Resolution No. 18- Page 3 City Council Agenda Packet 11-27-2018 Pg. 23

Out Program will be subject to normal withholdings and reported as taxable income and the employee will be required to pay any taxes due on them. The city will review this program on an annual basis during the budget process and may cancel the program effective on the first day of the succeeding plan year, but will not cancel it at any time during the current year it is offered. Employees who elect to opt-out of dependent coverage may do so during the Open Enrollment period. In return, the employee is eligible for up to twelve (12) months of monetary waiver payments, which will be made in twelve (12) pay periods. Employees who elect to opt-out of dependent coverage will not be permitted to reenroll until the next annual open enrollment period commencing in December of each year and effective in January of the following year unless re-enrollment provisions apply. Employees will not be allowed to waive/reduce existing coverage and receive cash payment for their eligible dependent(s) unless they can offer proof of coverage under an alternate health insurance plan. Employees desiring to participate in the Opt-Out Program must complete a waiver form and submit it to the Finance Director during the Open Enrollment but no later than December 11. Following the submission of the waiver form and the information for the verification of alternate insurance coverage found at the end of the waiver form, the current City health insurance coverage will terminate on December 31 of the year that the form was submitted. Further, an employee may apply to participate in the Opt-Out Program during the benefit plan year if, within thirty (30) days of qualifying life-changing event (i.e., marriage, new dependents), they notify the Finance Director and complete the necessary forms. Participants in the program will no longer have a monthly deduction of the employee dependent premium co-payments for which the employee has opted out and will receive the waiver payment instead. The waiver payment will be made over twelve (12) pay periods during the following plan year. All payments are considered income and are subject to normal withholdings. Offering this program does not obligate the City to continue the program form year-to-year if it is not economically feasible or if in conflict with Federal or State law. Section 5. Section 6.21.04 is hereby amended to read as follows: 6.21.04 Separation. If an employee participating in the Opt-Out Program separates employment with the City during a plan year, waiver payments will only continue through the last payroll period he or she is employed. NOTE: An employee participating in the program who separates and/or retires during the plan year does NOT have health insurance rights to participate in a City health insurance plan after separation and/or retirement, except as allowed under the City s COBRA policy, Section 6.19.04 of the City s Personnel Manual, on a self-pay basis.
